APC Consensus Candidate: Uncertainty, Buhari, Governors, NWC, Show No Support For Adamu over Ahmad Lawan

Is the President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan the consensus candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of its special convention and presidential primary election? 

"No!" The All Progressives Congress Party (APC), refuted endorsing Ahmad Lawan

The party said it aligns with the position of 13 of its governors from the North who have insisted on a power shift to the South.

The Tinubu Campaign Organization  described Adamu’s  unilateral declaration as illegal, saying there are conditions precedent for any consensus arrangement to be legal.

This according to the Vanguard news report;

"The governors are angry because they had already taken a position and have also restated their position after wide consultations. Adamu took a unilateral decision which of course has been rejected by the NWC. So, the governors are meeting the NWC to formally convey their own position to the committee having earlier conveyed same to Mr President”, said a source close to one of the governors.

President Muhammadu Buhari, Monday afternoon, told the party’s northern governors that he has “no preferred candidate,” and has “anointed no one.”

The President also said that he was determined to ensure that “there shall be no imposition of any candidate on the party.”

Speaking at a meeting with the Governors at the State House, Abuja, President Buhari said the party is important and its members must be respected, and made to feel they are important.

The President said he had a clear mind about what he was doing and asked the APC governors to feel the same way.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity issued a statement. Mallam Garba Shehu quoted the President as saying: “You were elected as I was. Have a clear mind as I have. God gave us the chance; we have no reason to complain.

“We must be ready to take pain as we take the joy. Allow the delegates to decide. The Party must participate, nobody will appoint anybody.”
